How to login users using on WordPress rest API with oauth1.0a?

Question

I have a multisite on WordPress and I was able to create users on my site using the API. I want to login users in my ionic app using angular $http method and wp rest API.

I want to know if there's a way of logging users in using the rest API over oauth 1.0a.

Show me the solution if possible in angular using the $http method if not then a snippet of any http client like postman would also work.

For login, you can use some plugins like WordPress REST API – OAuth 1.0a Server or to implement your own REST API route to achieve this in the server. In your Angular app you can add angular-oauth1-client or JWT Authentication for WP REST API and follow the documentation. I am trying some similar but in Apache Cordova.
